Iron Chefs cooking at Academy
The fine art of healthy cook-
ing will be on display in February
at the Warm Springs Academy,
followed by the regional competi-
tion at the Jefferson County
Middle School.
The Iron Chef Cook-Off is a
challenging and yet fun cooking
competition.
Round one of the cook-off will
be next week at the Warm Springs
Academy, with the regional com-
petition the following day at the
Jefferson County Middle School.
Last year the Warm Springs
team of three students took a
close second place in the cook-off.
The challenge: The students are
given the final secret ingredient—
last year it was sweet potatoes—
only moments before the start of
the cook-off.
They proceed to improvise a
nutritious and delightful dish,
judged by a panel of taste testers.
The judges ask the students
questions about preparation, with
the focus on the five food groups
and nutrition, cooking safety and
sanitation, and taste.
The students qualify by going
through the Iron Chef in the Nu-
trition Kitchen series, which con-
cludes next week.
The program is a collaboration
among the Warm Springs Acad-
emy, Oregon State University
Nutrition and OSU 4-H Agricul-
ture, and the Twenty-First Cen-
tury afterschool program, spon-
sored in part by St. Charles Medi-
cal Center.
The students are in grades six
to eight. They complete the eight-
session series, coached by
Extension’s Rosanna Sanders. The
students learn the basics of meal
preparation and cooking, food
safety, food parings, teamwork and
leadership.
The last session at the Academy
will be at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Feb-
ruary 7 in the Discovery Room.
The winning team at the Academy
cook-off will then go to the regional
cook-off at 5:30 p.m. on Friday,
February 8.
The team from the Academy will
compete against the Jefferson
County and Culver middle school
teams.
“It’s always an exciting event, and
a lot fun,” said Olivia Davis, pro-
gram coordinator and teacher at the
Culver Middle School.

public meeting on the resolution
in late 2018. Overall, the response
from this meeting was in favor of
the proposal.
The community response, in
fact, prompted the Justice Team
to increase the initially proposed
mandatory minimum sentences.
After the first, the Justice Team
is suggested doubling the mini-
mum sentences from 30, 60 and
90 days to 60, 90 and 120 days.
The Justice Team represents de-
partments of the Public Safety
Branch, tribal court, Health and
Human Services, Housing, IHS,
elected leaders, management and
other community members.
The Justice Team first began
working on the mandatory mini-
mum sentencing resolution last year
at the direction of Tribal Council.
